Legal Aid's mission is to secure justice and resolve fundamental
problems for those who are low income and vulnerable by providing
high quality legal services and working for systemic solutions.
Founded in 1905, Legal Aid is the fifth oldest legal aid
organization in the United States. Legal Aid's 55 staff
attorneys, 90 staff members, and 1,400 volunteer lawyers ensure
access to justice for low income people.
Legal Aid represents clients in court and in administrative
hearings. We also provide advice and brief assistance.
Legal Aid handles cases that impact on basic needs such as health,
shelter and safety, economics and education, and access to justice.
Legal Aid's attorneys practice in the areas of consumer
rights, domestic violence, education, employment, family law,
health, housing, foreclosure, immigration, public benefits,
utilities, and tax.
